theculturewarrior Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 In my new apartment, there is a closet with no shelves, no place to hang clothes, nothing. Then on the outside of the closet are three locks, including a sliding bolt. Is it just me, or is that wierd? Please tell me I'm overreacting, and why. :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theculturewarrior Posted September 5, 2004 Author Share Posted September 5, 2004 My mom says I'm overreacting. She also said she remembered a bar in there for clothes. But really, a sliding bolt on the outside of a closet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin D Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Maybe that closest was used to lock up unstable humans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theculturewarrior Posted September 5, 2004 Author Share Posted September 5, 2004 Well, I went back today and I took a second look. It is in fact a closet. It appears that they moved the door from somewhere else, because one of the locks is incomplete, and one of the locks opens from the inside of the closet. But still, a sliding bolt? Anyway, the sliding bolt is rusty so it must be old. Which makes me feel slightly better about the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immaculata Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Take the door off and set up a shrine to the Blessed Mother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i feel like im taking crzy pills Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Yes, I think that does seem a little odd. Replace the doors, paint the inside, and put up some shelfs and regular closet things! I duno.. maybe you should ask someone... but then again, that conversation in itself might be wierd.. hmm.. didn't you look at the closet before you bought the apartment?

littleflower+JMJ Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 make sure you sprinkle holy water there or get a priest to bless it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theculturewarrior Posted September 6, 2004 Author Share Posted September 6, 2004 My mom's guess was that at one point, that was the only way to close the door. I remembered it to be a lot more threatening-looking than it really was. In my imagination I saw a black door with black door knobs and red locks. JK! Anyway, I still have every intention of getting the pastor of my new parish over to bless my home, and today me and my phamily said a lay blessing. Also, I've got my great grandma's crucifix on the wall, with an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe next to it. Around the cross I hung my benedictine cross necklace, and my niece put a rosary she made for me on the wall. I think I can hold out until Msgr. Gus comes.

CreepyCrawler Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 maybe they used it to hide their valuables in there? or maybe your apartment was owned by mafiosos and used it to store dead bodies? or maybe.... just get a new door! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thicke Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I'd keep it locked and closed anyway, just to be safe. But then again, my wife did just recently make me sit through the Amityville Horror... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
